Kings Of Leon pay tribute to High Wycombe pub as it closes down

The White Horse in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire is set to close its doors for the last time on Saturday (December 30), and the band have shared their own memories of its role in their early career.
Speaking to the BBC, the band said: “The White Horse was our first taste of rock ‘n’ roll and hardcore fans.” “We never knew if we’d play another tour, so we soaked up every second and smell, the latter being an instant regret.
